Happy late Easter!
Today, even though Easter is past, I'm still going to post about it. :) This is more an activity, so be sure to steal some kids to help you! My grandma did this with us when we were little. (And as a result, I don't remember exactly what we did, so I'm kind of making up the parts I don't remember. :) )
Ingredients:
-Two box cakes
-Lots of White frosting (Enough to frost two or a little more than two box cakes)
-Food Coloring
-Sweetened, hydrated coconut
-Candies-M&Ms for eyes, cinnamon red-hots for nose, licorice (pull apart) for whiskers, candies for buttons
*All candies can be replaced as wanted; these are just examples.
First, make two box cakes: one in a 9x13 pan and two in 9" round pans.
Let cool.
Next, the fun begins!
1) Once you have your cakes, position one of the round cakes on a cookie sheet that will fit BOTH the round cakes AND the 9x13 cake the long way in a row. (I apologize for the basic diagrams, and I do wish I could make the cake and show you pictures of the actual cake, but, alas, I do not have time.) If you do not have cookie sheet long enough, sorry, but you're gonna have to figure something out. :)
2) Then, cut out two strips of ONE of the round cakes. They should go almost all the way across and be the same size.
3) Next, well, drum roll please. . . You are making an Easter Bunny! So, you need to figure out what color you want the different parts of your cake to be. Is he going to wear a shirt? What color will it be? What color are his ears? Once you figure that out, dye some (but not all) of your frosting that color. Then, dye some of your coconut that color. I believe you can do this by mixing a few drops of food coloring in with the coconut. Also, position the ears on top of the head.
5) Next, add eyes, a nose, mouth, whiskers, buttons, and other embellishments.
